A half-truth (half-truth or mixed truth) is a type of information manipulation where only part of the true information is provided, selecting it in such a way as to create a distorted or selective image of the situation. A half-truth can include hiding facts, selective data picking, or excessive generalization.
A half-truth can be used to influence the audience's opinion, create a certain impression, or justify specific points of view. Since existing facts are partially true, this type of manipulation can be particularly effective, as it may seem more objective and credible.
It is important to be attentive and able to think critically, distinguish the full picture of the situation, and seek additional sources of information to gain a complete understanding of events.
